Remove or speed up the animation for drinking water from a puddle etc.

[hucker75]

When you kill an enemy and try to loot their dead body that's fallen in the water, it's all too easy (especially if it's a small thing like a mirelurk baby) to drink water by mistake. This takes ages. Any way to turn this animation off?

OMFG I HATE THAT!!!

Got the answer from someone in the Steam forums - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16117

It disables drinking and/or bottling water.

There's already a mod that does this. Korax sit and drink disabler - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19223

You get a holotape and a consumable item.
In the Holotape, just set both the drink and sit options to Complete Disable, then use the consumable to make the settings active.

Then, when you actually DO want to sit or drink from a puddle, just use the consumable thing to toggle the setting off and back on whenever you want.

Been using it for straight up years, never gave me any problems.

 

The way that the settings are displayed in the holotape are pretty confusing, if you ask me.

But it offers some variety of options. Like, you can set it to prevent sitting and drinking only while crouching, or only while weapon is drawn.

I find it simpler to just turn sitting and drinking off entirely until the exact time i want it.

You'll also still see the option to drink from water sources, but it won't actually let you. The author didn't know how to prevent the option from appearing on screen.

Thanks, I'll give it a go, I hadn't thought about also getting rid of sitting, which also annoys me. Sounds like it would be useful with the hotkey. I'm one of those people mentioned in the description, I hurriedly scavenge and click chairs by mistake, so with the hotkey I can just switch sitting on for a second if I really want to sit down.

It mentions a hotkey - how do you assign a key to turning it on and off? I currently have to go into the pipboy, into aid, then scroll down to click an item to turn it on and off.

Sorry for the late reply, but I dunno about any built-in hotkey function.

I almost never turn it off, so I don't mind going into my inventory once in a blue moon to toggle it.

But if i did use it frequently, i'd just assign the aid toggle item to a hotkey using the FO4Hotkeys mod.
